3M™ Clarity™ Ultra Self-Ligating Brackets, 4003-358, APC™ Flash-Free, .022, LR4, -12T/2A, Hk, 5/Pk

Esthetics

In addition to being translucent, barely visible brackets, Clarity Ultra Self-Ligating Brackets also have a ceramic door that hides the metal wire, resulting in an even brighter smile.

Ease

The wide, ceramic self-ligating door helps make ligating quicker. Plus, hooks on cuspids and bicuspids are available for Class II elastic use.

Versatility

Clarity Ultra Self-Ligating Brackets are designed to permit single or double ligation or ligation with chains. Each bracket features a generous under tiewing area that allows the bracket to become active on demand.

Control

The wide ceramic door design offers stability and consistency while assisting rotational control with a broad mesial-distal span.

Performance

Brackets featuring APC Flash-Free Adhesive Coating have 60% fewer bracket bond failures* that can lead to excessive chair time due to emergency appointments. Plus, the flash-free adhesive meniscus protects tooth enamel under the bracket from acid erosion due to micro-leakage.

Efficiency

Made with resin soaked nonwoven mats that adhere to the enamel, this system eliminates the need for adhesive flash clean up¹​. This means that when you use APC Flash Free Adhesive and 3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer, you can bond in five 5 steps compared to 11 with traditional light cure bonding processes.

This translates to 40% less overall bonding time required for bracket placement and clean-up versus other bonding systems, creating less work for you while minimizing patient chair time.
